There are great reasons to get downtown with cool coffee shops like Comma Coffee and Joe Mango's, but if you haven't tried the Wine Walk I highly suggest you do. I went last week and I had an excellent time checking out the new places. I purchased some cool candles and loved the new smoothie place on Telegraph Street. The next Wine Walk is July 7 and for $10 you get a souvenir glass. I started at D'Vine wine, said hi to Kim and Chris Donner, then strolled around the wonderful establishments downtown. See friends, enjoy some great wines and sample a few tasty treats.
When I stopped in at B'Sghetti's, the owner was greeting everyone and pouring wine. This is a great time and it really is nice to check out the local retailers.
Downtown Wine Walk
WHAT: Great time, good wine and very fine shop to check out.
